Re: Useless Facts
• Dogs see objects in this order: By movement, brightness, and then shape. • King Louis XIX ruled France for about 15 minutes. • First immigrant processed at Ellis Island: Annie Moore, from Ireland, in 1892. • In 1912 the archbishop of Paris declared dancing the tango a sin. • Jupiter is large enough to fit all the other planets of the solar system inside it. (I didn't believe this one at first, so I made some calculations. It turns out that not only is the statement true, but another Saturn and another Mercury would still fit in the remainder.) • It takes 720 peanuts to make a pound of peanut butter. • An elephant can pull twice its weight. A bumblebee can pull 300 times its weight.

Re: Useless Facts
Hey RubberArm... Did you know that the red spot on Jupiter is larger than Earth itself? And that red spot...well it's perpetual storm. Imagine a storm of that magnitude hitting the Earth! Space fascinates me. There is so much we have to learn about it.
